I'm trying to decide between the following two setups:
20 or 22" LCD @ 1680x1050 Native resolution + 8800GTX
or
24" LCD @ 1920x1200 Native resolution + X1950XT 256MB (or equivalent)
These two setups will cost be about the same (give or take a bit).
Either way, I plan on upgrading to a next generation video card in
2008, either Nvidia or ATI. Obviously, I won't be able to do as much
gaming with the 24" LCD in the meantime, but would getting a 24" and
*settling* for a less powerful video card be worth it? There is
definitely an obvious price difference between the 22" and 24"
displays. As for 24", I have my eyes on the LG L245WP-BN Black 24" 8ms
on Newegg. As for 20" or 22", I really have no clue. :/ Could someone
give me some input or perhaps another setup suggestion? I don't plan to
use this rig just for gaming, but I plan to do a lot of multitasking
and this computer is *hopefully* going to be mainly for school work. The rest of my build will consist of X38 (DDR2 edition), Q6600, and 4GB DDR2 800. Thanks!
